General
– As jockey T Gillett was to be overweight he was replaced as the rider of
RAZOR RACING by jockey L Miller. Due to a misunderstanding L Miller was unable
to make the allotted weight and he was therefore replaced by jockey F
Bergstrand. As F Bergstrand became indisposed through injury Stewards permitted
L Miller to take the ride on RAZOR RACING and granted him permission to ride
1.5kg overweight as no other jockey could ride at the allotted weight.
